Specializing in tandem skydiving for both novices and skilled skydivers, Skydive Cairns has a professional training centre where you will be educated by an expert tandem skydiving instructor to take the plunge of a life time in the magnificent Great Barrier Reef region.

Departing from Cairns International Airport you will fly over the city with spectacular birdseye views of Trinity Inlet and the magical rainforest. As you climb to freefall height see the Atherton Tablelands and Copolode Dam, the towns water supply. Your skydive exit point is just south of Cairns city between two mountain ranges in the luscious green valley overlooking the City and Trinity Inlet. The view is second to none and one that you will never forget. That's why our instructors are passionate about working for Skydive Cairns because the scenery never gets boring!

Website was easy to use, could have been more descriptive ie if you could take a spectator and what clothing was most suitable.

Product rating:

I booked skydive over the reef which wasn't a true description of the dive. The skydive however was amazing, an experience I won't ever forget. I would be happy to book with this company again in the future.

I just still not yet got my refund of the cancelled skydiving tour.

Product rating:

Originally my pick up time should be 9:30. Then, it delayed to 11:30, then 11:45, then 12:30. As what the staff of Skydive Cairns told me, due to miscommunication, the driver didn't come to pick me up. She also told me I had to wait until 2pm to confirm my tour because it's too windy to skydive at that time. I waited until 2 and no surprise, my tour was cancelled.

I just kept waiting for the whole morning, wasting time but did nothing. Things were screwed up and out of plan. No one called me to tell me the cancellation of the tour but only a simple text message was sent to me. I felt bad about all of these.

Hi Ting. Sorry to hear your skydive was eventually cancelled and that you had to wait around all day. That must have been very frustrating for you. Your refund was processed immediately on the day your skydive was cancelled. This may take up to 5 days to appear in your bank account. Thanks for taking the time to offer your feedback and we will be sure to pass your comments in regards to the poor communication on to the team at the Australia Skydive Company.

Everything Travel Group Review

I was really impressed with Skydive Cairns service and quality. From check in all the way through all their staff were happy and having fun. The jump itself was breathtaking and certainly the most extreme way to see Cairns. My instructor kept me calm throughout and then after he had pulled the shoot guided us down talking in my ear like a mid air tour guide and pointing out points of reference. I really enjoyed my jump with these guys and would definitely recommend first time jumpers or people that have jumped before let the team from Skydive Cairns push you out of an aircraft!

Suggestions: Go as high as possible. 14,000ft gives you more freefall and doesn't cost much more.

Hi,
I am looking forward to skydive. I want to know if in the price 299$ the pictures or video are included? Or I have to pay an extra? How much is it?
I am looking forward to your answer.

Comments

The cost for the skydiving in Cairns is currently $299. $264 is payable when you book and $35 skydive levy payable on the day when you skydive. The photos and video cost extra and can be arranged on the day. Handycam photos cost $104, DVD costs $135 or photos & DVD costs $160.

I would like to find out if you have an afternoon session for skydiving? My friends and I are flying in from Sydney and will touchdown at 10.15 am on 15 July 2014. If you have an afternoon slot, say at 2pm, it would be great.

Comments

Hi Su Sun Oon. Yes, there are afternoon Cairns skydive departures however these are only confirmed once the morning time slots are full. If would like to in the afternoon then you can book via our website for the morning and then please mention in the 'additional information' field in the booking page that you want to go at 12.30pm instead. We will then book you on for the afternoon time slot instead. You will need to call to confirm the day before to reconfirm. If your skydive does not go ahead in the afternoon then you have the option of rescheduling to another day or receiving a full refund.

Hi
One of our group of 3 wants to Skydive, we are happy to make our own way to the airport - where should us 2 spectators watch from to get best view of our Skydiver coming down??

Comments

Hi Fiona. Yes, you can all make your own way out to the skydive shop at the Cairns airport where you will be able to watch the pre skydive briefing and then go out to the drop zone where your friend who is skydiving will land. There is no cost to spectate the tandem skydiving in Cairns. When you book the skydive online just mention in the 'additional information' field that there are 2 spectators that wish to watch and you are going to all make your own way to the airport. We will then email your booking confirmation straight back with all the necessary details and information.

I would like to book a skydiving for myself in mid January 2014, but I wonder how can I settle my wife and child, who won't join the skydiving. Can they go with us? Any transportation provides for them to go to the venue of skydiving with me? Can they be observers? Any charge?

Comments

Hi Alfred, spectators are able to go on the bus free of charge as long as there is space in the bus and it is not full of skydivers. Spectators can only book on the night before the Skydive when you call to reconfirm your booking and for a weather check. They cannot be pre-booked prior to this. If there is space then they will be booked on the bus with you.

Hi, i was just wondering if you are running the 14,000 ft skydiving at 7.30am on australia day as well or are you guys not open then??

I was also wondering if you are open on the 26th of January if i was able book it for me and a friend so we can jump together but pay seperately??

Thanks, Britney

Comments

Hi Britney, yes Skydive Cairns will be open on Australia day. If you are wanting to pay separately just book separately and make sure you do it for the same day and time and note in the "additional information" field that you are travelling together and we will make sure we book you on together.

There is a $35 APF compulsory levy (Australian Parachute Federation) payable on the day. If you require personal insurance cover you would need to arrange a personal policy through an insurance company.

Hi,
My son is visiting Aus next week and wants to do a Parachute jump, unfortunately he has epilepsy. Is it possible he could do a jump and will the insurance cover him.

Comment by: Anthony Tanner on 27th Sep 18 at 21:44

Heya, People have jumped with epilepsy before but he must have a doctors note with him saying that he is approved to skydive. As they cannot make the decision for you it needs to be made by a doctor/ your son.

We are interested in booking sky diving for 2 people on Christmas Day.

Do you operate on Christmas Day?

Comments

Hi Ashwika. Unfortunately the skydiving in Cairns is not operating on Christmas day however it is operating every other day of the year. There are a few tours that do run on Christmas day in Cairns. If you type the word 'christmas' into the search window at the top left of our website you will see a list of all the tours that run on Christmas day. Or click on the link below:

Hi, is it possible picking me up 3 pm instead of 2 pm?
I really want to do skydiving, but i have only from 3pm schedule.

Thank you for ur time.

Comments

Oops, i got the answer for this question.
Thank you.
When are we back from skydiving if we do it the fastest in the morning?
We want to go to Kuranda after skydiving.
U think, is it possible taking skyrail for going and train for coming back?
Thank you.

Comment by: Choi on 30th Oct 12 at 11:24

Hi Terry, yes you could do the earliest skydive and then do the Skyrail and Kuranda Railway combo afterwards. You would just need to be on the first Skydive trip and also the later Skyrail departure.

Hi are we allowed to bring our own camera and take photographs during the skydiving process?
Hope to hear from you soon thanks!

Comments

Hi Xinyi, unfortunately Skydive Cairns do not permit personal cameras during the Skydive. You can however opt on the day for them to document your skydiving experience for you and they will have a photographer jump with you to take photos of your experience.

Hey there. Im looking at going skydiving for me and my girlfriend. Just seeingwhat we need and is there n e paper work to do.
Thanks for ur time.

Comments

Hi Danny, no there is no prior paper work required to book your skydive with Skydive Cairns. All is done on the day. Once you arrive at the Skydive shop you will register and be instructed on all you need to know to make the jump including the fitting on your harness, the jumping out of the plane and landing.
